MARGARET SANGER ADDRESSES FORUM Speaker at First Meeting Cites 7 Definite Reasons for Birth Control Practice •“Birth control is not a panacea for all the social and. economic ills in the world but at least it is the most im portant immediate help which con be applied as a solution to the present •problems of millions of men and wo men here' and now," Mrs. Margaret Sanger said,, at the opening Forum of the year in the Auditorium Tues day night. ; • • Mrs. Sanger cited several definite reasons for the practice of birth con trol. Contraception, , she believes, should be used in the case of com municable diseases, where the mother is physically weak and incapable of bearing children, and where parents produce sub-normal offspring. The ' practice is also valuable in the spac ing of children in a family, protect ing adolescent married couples from having children too soon, and also in the case of poverty stricken parents. . “Birth control will give women a . chance to - develop • and to ; express themselves; it will, above all, mean happier marriages," Mrs.' Sanger stated., “Instead of the customary single child in families of the higher classes,, and ten or eleven, in the poor er classes, birth control will usher in a new era of families with three‘or four children. This will constitute the American family of the future,” the speaker, believes. Mrs. Sanger left the College yester day afternoon.

MARKHAM DEFINES POETRY ESSENCE Nationally KnowjH Writer Reads Own Works at Lecture Here Wednesday “Poetryis something that rises out of the heart, not out of- the intellect, and attempts to transmit a noble em otion,” Edwin Markham, nationally’ known poet', said in a lecture at the St Paul’s Methodist Episcopal church Wednesday night. Mr. Markham read a number of his poems as-part of - the talk, including! “The Man With the Hoe',” and “Lin coln', the Man - of* the People.” Fol-! lowing the lecture a reception was’ held to give, the audience an oppor tunity to meet the famous poet. j Attempting to describe the exact! feelings and emotions which move writers to compose verse, the speaker said a poet must always have thf youthful angle, which' is often re ferred to as the “heart of a child." Above'all, he must avoid any contact) with cynicism and he must steer clear j of those who preach the doctrine ofj the; insignificance of-life, he said. j ' “Where science stops/poetry begins.! Out beyond the . precipice - where j science falters, there is another world —the world of aspirations and im mortality," Mr. Markham said. “It is from that world that- the poet comes to tell of the higher truths, and the poetry presented o reprosen -these truths is only good if it is told in a beautiful, strange, ami unusual way."

Two years ago, Mr. Markham in dignantly assailed the choice of Sin clair Lawis as the award winner. The eighty-year-old poet felt that some one such ns Edith Wharton who “can see and write about all sides of life” should have been honored with the award. “Lewis has a vivid pen and has given us a number of interesting pic tures of, American life,” Mr. Mark ham said, “but iiis portrayal of the ‘seamy’ side of life to the complete exclusion of the dream side made him unworthy of so great an honor.” .
